Student stories: Salman Abdullah

IET Undergraduate Grant Winner 2016

Salman was awarded a prestigious Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) Undergraduate Grant in the final year of his BEng degree, in recognition of his outstanding performance on the course.

Salman, who is from Pakistan, was attracted to Birmingham City University as he knew that many graduates from the University go on to work for high quality companies such as Rolls-Royce. He also expected to feel at home in the city as he knew that Birmingham has a large Asian population.

Salman has taken a full part in university life. He became a course representative, and won first prize in the CISCO Hackathon in June 2016.

As part of his studies, Salman undertook a placement at the University, teaching Foundation and Year One students on the Electronic Engineering course, as well as working on several University projects. He said of the experience: “I would highly recommend doing a placement year. It gives you a really good edge and practical experience of work”.

The award has boosted Salman’s confidence and motivated him to go even further. He is on course to achieve a First Class degree, and his tutors are encouraging him to stay on and undertake an MEng qualification after completing his BEng.

Mr Charles Magee, International Regional Manager, and Dr Muhammad Akbar will be visiting Pakistan in October 2019.  If you wish to meet either of them, you can book an appointment:
